Jie a husband is too arrogant

Chapter 104 Why did you lie to her?

In the morning, the servants of Ji's mansion went to Jinglanyuan to deliver food to the second lady, found Mr. Yu, and reported back that the second lady was seriously ill and bedridden, and urgently needed to see a doctor.

"What disease?" Yu Lao asked.

"I don't know, I just saw that the second lady was lying on the bed, her complexion was not good, and Miss Yuan'er was crying very hard!" The servant hurriedly replied.

Yu Lao frowned, thinking that the second wife was depressed, maybe she was really sick.Then he found a doctor and accompanied him to Jinglanyuan to see the second lady.

To avoid suspicion, Mr. Yu just waited in the outer room, and heard the second wife inside who was unconscious and babbled continuously, calling Jize's name in his mouth, his voice was haggard and weak, as if he was really terminally ill.

After a while, the doctor came out from the inside and said, "Second madam is suffering from wind-cold, and she has a fever. I will prescribe a few medicines to dispel the cold and dissipate heat, and it will be fine!"

"Trouble!" Yu Lao replied in a low voice.

Doctor Gu has a stubborn temper, and seeing a doctor depends entirely on his mood, and today is the same. He said that one of his ginseng grasses was ruined by the rain, and he refused to come to see the second wife. This doctor still sent someone to invite him from outside.

The doctor went out to prescribe the medicine, Yuan'er came out, knelt down at the old man's feet with a plop, and cried, "Old Yu, although our second wife made a mistake, she has always been respectful to the old man at home and never treated her poorly. Now she is seriously ill , the second madam misses the second young master day and night, and she has always been heartbroken, so I ask the old man to accommodate me, let Master Jize come and see the second madam!"

"This," Yu Lao frowned in embarrassment.

"Please!" Yuan'er slammed her head on the ground, and after coughing twice, a piece of bruise oozes blood.

Yu Lao hurriedly supported Yuan'er, and said in a deep voice, "It's useless if you beg me, this is an order from the master, and I can't make the decision!"

"Butler Yu, please go to the eldest son to intercede, only let the second wife and the mother and son meet, and you will save our second wife, and this slave will kowtow to you!" Yuan'er was crying and was about to kowtow again go down.

Mr. Yu didn't expect that there were a few loyal servants around the second lady, so he didn't let her knock again, and said in a low voice, "I will report this matter to the eldest son. How the son decides, we servants can't control it!"

"Yes, yes, as long as Mr. Yu says something in front of the eldest son, the eldest son will definitely agree!"

Yuan'er hurriedly thanked her.

After Mr. Yu left, Steward Song took the doctor to grab the medicine, but was stopped by Yuan'er, who whispered a few words.

Steward Song nodded hurriedly, "I wrote it down, little one!"

The blood on Yuan'er's forehead hadn't been wiped off yet, and she was smiling, looking unspeakably weird, "Second Madam treated you well in the past, and you did not lose money in our Jinglan Garden, you just need to remember these! "

"Yes, yes, the villain remembers the benefits of the second lady!" Manager Song laughed hurriedly.

"That's work!"

Steward Song bowed his head and withdrew.

Yu Laoben wanted to go to the main courtyard to ask Ji Yuxian for instructions, but when he entered the courtyard and found a guest there, he asked Jin Feng, "Who is coming to visit the young master?"

Jin Feng said, "It's Zhu Hecheng, the head of the Zhu family!"

Yu Lao nodded secretly, turned around and left without entering the door.

In the flower hall, Zhu Hecheng was sitting on a chair. After the loss of his son, his body had become thinner, his face was pale, his eyes were dark blue, and his expression was filled with guilt, "I didn't go out for a long time because of the dog. Something happened at work, I came here in a hurry today, I want to see the second wife, maybe the eldest son can help me?"

"The fact about your son is very regrettable!" Ji Yuxian said, his tone changed, and he said in a low voice, "The second lady is sick and can't afford to stay on the couch. In order to avoid embarrassment, shopkeeper Zhu should come back at another day!"

"Sick?" Zhu Hecheng was surprised, and worried, "Then I, an older brother, should visit him!"

Ji Yuxian took a cup of tea and drank slowly, with a calm expression and kept silent.

Zhu Hecheng suppressed hatred in his half-down eyes, and said with a dry smile, "Is it convenient for the family?"

"The second lady's matter is a matter of my Ji's family. I don't feel wronged or wronged. The second lady also admitted it in public. My nephew is rude. I can't let shopkeeper Zhu see the second lady for the time being!" Ji Yuxian's calm tone, but No one can question it.

Zhu Hecheng grinned in embarrassment, as if he wanted to force a smile, but in the end he couldn't, and said, "Second sister is always kind-hearted, maybe it's just a moment of confusion at this time, and I hope the eldest son will be more generous, don't be like a woman care about."

He was worried that the second wife was a fake, and he even wanted to ask how the second wife went about taking revenge on Ji Yuxian?
Could it be that Ji Yuxian beat her up and locked her up because what the second wife was going to do was exposed.

But he couldn't see the second wife, so he didn't know anything, he could only guess secretly.

Ji Yuxian obviously didn't want him to see him!

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Zhu. Apart from not being able to go out of Jinglan Garden, the second lady has not been wronged in terms of food and clothing."

"That's good, that's good!"

Zhu Hecheng seemed to have a needle prick on his buttocks, couldn't sit still any longer, got up and said goodbye.

Ji Yuxian sent him out the door.

As soon as the two of them walked outside the courtyard, Guanshi Song, who had been on the sidelines for a long time, hurried over. He didn't seem to see Zhu Hecheng, and said directly to Ji Yuxian, "Young master, the second lady is very ill. She always calls Master Ji Ze's name. The servants in the courtyard asked the villain to ask for instructions, and wanted the second wife to meet Young Master Ji Ze."

Zhu Hecheng suddenly turned his head to look at Ji Yuxian, and said in a low voice, "I'm an outsider, so I can't see my second sister. Ze'er is always from your Ji family, and is the only son of your second sister. The eldest son can't even treat his seriously ill mother." If you want to see your son, you can't be flexible, even prisoners in prison have the right to see their families!"

Ji Yuxian's long eyes lightly glanced over Song Guanshi's head, his eyes were not so cold and harsh, but Song Guanshi felt the momentum of Mount Tai pressing down, and he couldn't help shivering.

"Since the second wife sees the second younger brother like this, let's wait for the second younger brother to come back from court and go visit!" Ji Yuxian said softly.

"Yes! The servant will give orders immediately!" Steward Song raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not daring to look at Ji Yuxian's face, turned around and left.

Zhu Hecheng's expression eased a little, and he said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your flexibility!"

"Business Manager Zhu is polite about matters of duty!" Ji Yuxian chuckled.

Zhu Hecheng nodded slightly, "Young Master, you don't need to send it off, I'll come back to bother you some other day!"

"Shopkeeper Zhu, go slowly!"

Seeing Zhu Hecheng walking away, Ji Yuxian's face paled, and he turned back to the study.

Yu Lao followed him in and reported, "Second madam suddenly fell ill today, and this old slave went to the doctor. Second madam must see Master Ji Ze. This old slave wanted to come and tell the young master, but he didn't make a sound when he saw shopkeeper Zhu was there. Who knows?" Song Guanshi actually came to report to the eldest son privately, but the old slave didn't investigate, so please forgive me!"

Ji Yuxian shook his head lightly, "Second Madam has tried every means to see Ji Ze, so she must have something to explain!"

Yu Lao said, "This old slave asked the doctor, and he said that the second lady has indeed contracted a cold and is seriously ill!"

Su Jiu raised her head in front of the table, "What happened?"

Ji Yuxian's brows suddenly softened, "It's nothing!"

Yu Lao asked, "Would you like to let Master Ji Ze go to see the Second Madam?"

"I've already agreed, there's no reason to take it back, let him see it!" Ji Yuxian's wonderful eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes!"

"How many years has Manager Song been in the mansion?" Ji Yuxian asked suddenly.

Mr. Yu thought for a while, and said, "It's been five years. Before that, he did go to Jinglanyuan more frequently, but this old slave was negligent!"

"This person doesn't need to stay any longer, give some money and send it out!"

"Yes, the old slave has written it down!"

Yu Lao bowed and stepped back.

Su Jiu looked at Ji Yuxian suspiciously.

Ji Yuxian leaned over and hooked her chin and kissed her, and said softly, "It's the second lady who wants to see Ji Ze!"

"Miss her son? Or do you want Jize to save her?" Su Jiu guessed.

In order to see Jize, even Guanshi Song bribed, it should not just be because of missing Jize.

Ji Yuxian shook his head slowly, "The second lady must have a bigger purpose after going through so much trouble to see Jize."

Su Jiu rolled her eyes and thought about it, then suddenly smiled, "Let's not guess randomly, I'll just go and listen to it tonight!"

Ji Yuxian smiled, "Why do you need Madam to go in person?"

Su Jiu shrugged.

In the evening, when Jize came back from the palace, he was told by his servants that the second wife was seriously ill and wanted to see him.

Ji Ze didn't even have time to change his court clothes, so he hurried to Jinglan Garden.

The servant opened the door, and Yuan'er was waiting outside, when she saw Jize, she hurriedly greeted him, "I have seen the second young master!"

"How is my mother?" Jize asked anxiously.

Yuan'er looked behind him, closed the door tightly, and said, "Second Madam is waiting for Second Young Master in the room, please go in quickly!"

"it is good!"

Ji Ze responded and walked quickly to the second wife's bedroom.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the strong smell of soup and medicine. Ji Ze's face changed slightly, and he threw himself on the bed, shouting anxiously, "Mother, mother!"

The second lady opened her eyes, seeing J Ze's eyes suddenly brightened, she reached out to touch J Ze's face, "Ze'er, Ze'er! Mother finally sees you again!"

Seeing that the second lady looked haggard and pale, Ji Ze became more and more anxious, "Mother, why are you so sick? Can the doctor come and see?"

Yuan'er stood aside and said, "Second young master, don't worry, the second madam deliberately drenched in cold water last night in order to see the young master, which caused the typhoid fever, and the medicine has been boiled, and it will be cured soon!"

Tears welled up in Ji Ze's eyes, and he cried, "It is the son who is unfilial and made the mother suffer!"

The second lady sat up supporting her body, "Don't cry, I did this because I wanted to see you!"

Ji Ze's eyes were red, and he held the second wife's hand and said, "Mother, don't be too impatient. Eldest sister already knew about mother, and she handed a letter to her son, saying that she will definitely find a way to get mother out of Ji's residence!"

"How did your elder sister know?" The second lady asked in surprise.

Jize was startled, as if he hadn't thought about this question, he just shook his head puzzled.

The second lady said, "Tell your elder sister, don't worry about me, except that you can't leave this courtyard, it's the same as before. You're in Ji's mansion, I won't go anywhere!"

"Mother!" Jize cried bitterly on the quilt.

Under the protection of his second wife, he used to only read sage books and prepare for scientific examinations. In his eyes, his mother and elder brother have always been very harmonious and respect each other.What happened in the past few days suddenly overturned all his cognitions and made him panic and bewildered. He was at a loss in the past few days, but now seeing that the second wife was ill, he felt sad and powerless.

Seeing the man crying sadly, Yuan'er's eyes hurt, she leaned over to comfort Jize, she stretched her hand halfway, but suddenly retracted when she remembered something.

Fortunately, the second lady was already mentally weak, and she only looked at Jize, and didn't notice her strangeness.

The second lady stroked Ji Ze's hair and said lovingly, "My good boy, don't worry about me, except that I can't see you every day like before, mother is fine."

Jize raised his head, "It's useless to be a son!"

The second lady shook her head, her face was a little more solemn, "Mother came to you today, one is to see you, and the other is to explain something to you."

Ji Ze hurriedly said, "If mother has something to say, just tell her!"

The second lady raised her head and winked at Yuan'er.

Yuan'er understood, and hurriedly said, "Master Jize and his wife have a slow chat, and the servants are going to guard the door!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and left the bedroom, stood outside the door and looked around.

Then the second lady lowered her voice and said, "Ze'er, do you know that Tanhua Qiao An, who is in the same discipline as you, is a bandit!"

Jize let out an "Ah" in surprise, it was impossible to tell straightly, he and Qiao An had met several times in the palace, the man talked generously, treated others with elegance and courtesy, how could he be a bandit?
How could bandits be awarded Jinshi?
The imperial examinations are very strict about the background of the students who participate.

"This matter is absolutely true!" The second lady emphasized again.

"How does mother know?" Jize asked in astonishment.

"How do I know that you don't need to ask, you will find an opportunity to report this matter to the emperor when you enter the palace tomorrow, and the emperor will send someone to investigate, and then you will know that mother did not lie to you!"

Ji Ze looked bewildered, and shook his head after a long while, "Qiao An doesn't look like a bad person. Even if he was a bandit, he was probably forced by others. Now that he has entered the palace as an official, why should I engage in such a conspiracy behind his back?" , ruin his future?"

After hearing Jize's words, the second lady felt a mouthful of old blood clogging her chest, and only hated herself for teaching Jize so unsophisticated back then.

At this time, I couldn't be anxious, so I had to "be patient and seductive" and said, "Qiao An used to be a bandit, and he must have killed countless people. He is a treacherous and evil person. How do you know that he will not harm others in the future! His nature is hard to change. Humans are inherently wicked, and you go to expose him to the emperor in order not to harm innocent people and to prevent the emperor from being deceived, isn't this what you, a courtier, should do?"

Jize was speechless, but he was still uneasy, "Son, son thinks there must be a reason for this!"

"If there is anything wrong with him, the emperor will definitely find out and clear him up!" The second lady continued to persuade, "Besides, you both entered the court at the same time. You are the number one scholar, and you were originally a rank higher than him. A trip to Xuzhou puts pressure on you, are you willing?"

Jize raised his head suddenly, his face turned pale, "Son, I never thought about this!"

"If you don't want to, others will think, how do you know how others laugh at you behind your back!"

Ji Ze immediately lowered his eyebrows.

"Now there is such an opportunity for you to bring him down, why are you hesitating? Mother has spent so much effort to meet you, and she is always thinking about you. Don't you have the heart to see mother suffer this time for nothing? Sin?" The second lady was heartbroken.

Ji Ze became more and more at a loss, "Mother, my son has always listened to you, but this time..."

Always feel wrong.

"You are doing this for the emperor's sake. It's a good thing with a clear understanding of righteousness. What's wrong?" The second lady persuaded with a frown.

After a while, Jize nodded, "Yes, tomorrow, my son will find an opportunity to report this matter to the emperor!"

"That's right! This is my mother's obedient son!" The second lady had a gratified smile on her face, and stroked Jize's arm, "Don't worry, the emperor will investigate!"

"Yes!" Ji Ze nodded slowly.

"Mother is sick, don't get sick, you can't stay here for a long time, go back, don't forget what mother said, you must report to the emperor tomorrow!" The second lady repeatedly asked.

"The son has gone back, mother, take care of yourself!" Jize stood up.

"Go back, it's dark and the road is slippery, ask the servants to light two more lights!"

"Yes!"

Yuan'er was still guarding the door, seeing Jize coming out, she sent him out.

At this time, a black shadow on the roof silently swept across the night and drifted away.

Su Jiu was taking a nap in the study after dinner, Ji Yuxian was reading a book next to her, suddenly raised his eyebrows, glanced out the window, covered Su Jiu with a thin quilt, got up and walked out.

As soon as Ji Yuxian went out, Jin Feng immediately stepped forward, "My lord, I have something important to report!"

Ji Yuxian's eyes deepened slightly, he glanced at the study behind him, and walked along the wooden corridor.

Jin Feng followed lightly.

When the study room was far away, Ji Yuxian said, "Tell me, what does Second Madam want Ji Ze to do?"

Jin Feng hurriedly recounted what the second wife told Jize.

Mid-autumn is approaching, the moonlight is clear, overlapping with the shadows of the lights in the corridor, casting a layer of hazy light on the handsome face of the man,
The enchanting eyes of the man lining them are a little more unfathomable.

He frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "How does the second lady know that Qiao An is a bandit?"

If Qiao An's identity is exposed, then the second wife must also know that Su Jiufulong is in the gang.

What about the others, how much does the second lady know?

"My subordinates don't know, the second lady didn't tell Master Jize how she knew, but only asked Master Jize to expose Qiao An to the emperor!" Jin Feng hid in the darkness with a gloomy expression.

The shimmering light in Ji Yuxian's wonderful eyes turned lightly, and he nodded lightly.

"Master, are you going to stop Master Jize now?" Jin Feng asked.

If the emperor finds out that Qiao An has been a bandit, he will definitely investigate and find out the truth, implicating Su Jiu, which may be detrimental to everyone in the Fulong Gang.

At that time, the fact that Su Jiu is a fake Su Yuejiu will definitely be exposed.

Ji Yuxian pondered for a moment, then suddenly shook his head, "No, let him expose it!"

Jin Feng was startled, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Ji Yuxian looked far away, and said calmly, "My wife is Su Jiu, she can't be Su Yuejiu all the time, maybe, this is the opportunity,"

Jin Feng rolled his eyes, as if he understood what Ji Yuxian meant.

But if the young lady returns to Su Jiu's identity, how should Su Yuejiu's death be explained to the Su family?

And if Qiao An is involved, will the young lady forgive the young master?
This trip is really a dangerous move.

Ji Yuxian pursed her thin lips, and asked, "I asked you to find out who actually killed Su Yuejiu, did you have any clues?"

Jin Feng's eyes darkened, and he slowly shook his head, "The place where the murder was committed was destroyed by the Fulong gang, and after so long, there are no clues. The subordinates only traced the whereabouts of the Su family's dowry. Most of those bandits died in the last court suppression of the bandits in Yuhu Mountain, so the clues became more limited. However, the subordinates found out that the second lady sent people to talk to Chongxi during that time I have contacted Qingfengzhai, but I am not sure yet, so I have not reported it to the young master."

Ji Yuxian nodded, "You don't have to be sure, it's enough. If the government is looking for Su Yuejiu's real murderer, it will be on the Second Madam. Anyway, she has enough motives!"

Indeed, Su Jiu was poisoned by the second wife after entering the Ji Mansion, so it is reasonable for her to hire a murderer to kill Miss Su's family.

Jin Feng lowered his head, "Yes!"

"Don't let Madam know about this, I will try my best to protect Qiao An afterwards, from now on, let Su Yuejiu really die!" Ji Yuxian said indifferently.

"Yes, this subordinate understands!"

After explaining to Jin Feng, Ji Yuxian returned to the study.

Su Jiu still fell asleep in the original state, Ji Yuxian leaned over and kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said in a low voice, "I know you don't like Su Yuejiu's identity, and you have always had a grudge, so I asked you to do it for your husband." How is Su Jiu?"

Su Jiu fell into a deep sleep, muttered a bit, turned over and continued to sleep.

The man's eyes were soft, he gently picked her up in his arms, and walked slowly back to the bedroom.

Ji Ze didn't sleep well all night, and when he arrived in the palace the next day, he was still in a daze, and took the wrong things several times.

Master Wu came over, put a stack of books in front of Jize, and said with a smile, "I didn't sleep well last night, why do you look so sluggish?"

Jize hurriedly stood up, "I've seen you, I'm fine!"

"Young people should pay more attention to rest!" Master Wu smiled meaningfully, pointing to those books and said, "This is what the Ministry of Households wants, you can send it to them!"

"Yes, the officer will go right away!"

Jize hugged the book and walked out quickly.

When I arrived at the office of the household department, I ran into Qiao An, who is now a doctor of the household department.

Qiao An first greeted him gently, "Master Ji!"

Ji Ze thought about what his mother told him yesterday, and now he felt as if Qiao An had discovered what was on his mind, his face was burning hot, he hurriedly returned the gift, and hurried to the pavilion.

Joan raised her eyebrows in wonder, but didn't pay attention, and continued to work.

When Jize came out from the household department, he was afraid that he would meet Qiao An again, so he walked very fast, and bumped into Mr. Wu at the gate of the Imperial Academy.

Both of them took a few steps back at the same time, Master Wu smiled lightly, "Ji Ze, what happened to you today, you are absent-minded, not like the usual you!"

With a guilty conscience, Ji Ze hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Master Wu, I have something to ask you."

"Say it!" Master Wu smiled gently.

"If, if the officials in the court were bandits before, what will the emperor do if he finds out?" Ji Ze asked nervously, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Master Wu was stunned, and then laughed, "That's impossible. Participating in the provincial and general examinations are very strict on the background of the students. It is impossible for such a thing to happen!"

Ji Ze hurriedly asked, "The lower official said yes, what would the emperor do if such a thing really happened?"

Master Wu frowned, "If an official has been a bandit and is found out by the emperor, dismissal is inevitable. Others should be dealt with according to the seriousness of the case. There is also a matter of sending the official to the gentleman who recommended the scientific examination and searching for his identity. I am afraid that the officials of the government will also be implicated."

"Oh!" Ji Zeng murmured.

"Why do you ask this?" Master Wu asked.

"No, just asking!" Jize said hastily.

"Don't think about it!" Master Wu patted Jize on the shoulder.

"Yes!" Jize nodded respectfully.

Master Wu turned to leave, and Jize continued to return to the Imperial Academy with a worried face. At this time, a touch of blue flashed outside the corridor, and Xiao Lie slowly walked out from behind a row of pruning bamboos.

His handsome eyes were dark, he pondered for a moment, and then shouted, "Jize!"

Hearing the sound, Jize turned around abruptly, and when he saw Xiao Lie, he hurriedly greeted him, "I have seen His Highness Prince Rui!"

"Master Ji has something to do, I want to chat with you." Xiao Lie said lightly.

Ji Ze hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is terrified, just ask His Highness if you have anything to do!"

"Master Ji, this way please!"

"Your Highness, please!"

The two stopped at a quiet place, Xiao Lie turned to look at Jize, and asked directly, "Master Ji just said that he was an official of bandits, but you mean Qiao An?"

Ji Ze was stunned for a moment, and stared at Xiao Lie in a daze.

Xiao Lie has a graceful figure and a dignified temperament, with a clear pale color on his handsome face, "How did Mr. Ji know that Qiao An was a bandit?"

"Xia, Xiaguan," Jize's face turned pale, and he muttered for a while, unable to speak.

Xiao Lie did not continue to question, raised his long eyebrows lightly, and said, "Qiao An was indeed a bandit before, but he was forced by others, and he was not voluntary. Now he has repented, and he has already reported it to the king."

"So that's it!" Jize said embarrassingly with his face burning hot.

"Everyone should have a chance to reform. Qiao An is honest and kind. He has studied hard for decades. Is Mr. Ji really going to destroy him?" Xiao Lie's voice was a bit oppressive.

Ji Ze shook his head in fear, "No, Xiaguan has never thought about it that way."

"But if you bring this up in front of the emperor, Qiao An's future may come to naught, and Mr. Ji will be implicated." Xiao Lie paused and continued, "You are both Jinshi this year and entered the palace together. Now Qiao An is a higher rank than Mr. Ji. If Mr. Ji goes to expose Qiao An, he will be said to be jealous of Qiao An, so he did such a despicable thing of stabbing people in the back, and what my father always hates most is this kind of villainous behavior. Master Ji, think about it, will he be reused by his father in the future?"

Ji Ze blushed and was so ashamed that he seemed to have really become the villain in Xiao Lie's mouth, and hurriedly said, "I dare not, I have never been jealous of Mr. Qiao, Mr. Qiao was promoted to the Ministry of Households, it was him I have nothing but admiration for my achievements in disaster relief."

"It's good if you don't have one. Mr. Ji is kind and kind. I believe that I'm not mistaken. Otherwise, Mr. Ji really wanted to make Qiao An go to his father to expose him early in the morning, wouldn't he?" Xiao Lie's voice slowed down.

Ji Ze suddenly said excitedly, "Yes, I never wanted to harm Master Qiao. I promise that I will keep this matter to myself and never tell anyone about it!"

Xiao Lie smiled lightly and nodded, "Master Ji is indeed a righteous person, and what the court needs is a benevolent and righteous official like Lord Ji!"

Jize felt even more ashamed, "Your Highness Miao Zan!"

"Since that's the case, I'm relieved, Mr. Ji, go get busy! If you need help from me, just come to me!" Xiao Lie said gently.

"Thanks to His Highness Prince Rui's love, I must work hard to not let His Highness down!"

"Okay, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Jize saluted again, before carefully turning back to the Imperial Academy.

However, maybe because the things he had been hesitating in his heart had settled down, his steps were much easier than before, and his heart suddenly became brighter.

Xiao Lie looked at Jize's back, his eyes became deeper and deeper, he slid past a touch of contemplation, and turned away.

In the afternoon, when Su Jiu arrived at the firm, there was a guy from Qingyuan Restaurant waiting for her, and said, someone is looking for her.

Su Jiu immediately thought that it was Xiao Lie, and no one would go to Qingyuan Restaurant to wait for her except him.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time since they parted in the palace. Xiao Lie must have something important to look for her, so Su Jiu hurried to the restaurant.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Su Jiu went straight to the top of the building. Sure enough, as soon as he went up, he saw that familiar figure standing in the pavilion. He seemed to hear footsteps. The man slowly turned his head to look over. , hiding something on her mind that she couldn't understand.

"I guess it's you, what do you want me to do?" Su Jiu walked over with a smile.

Xiao Lie raised his eyebrows, his voice was low and gentle, "Why, I can't find you if I have nothing to do?"

"That's right, but His Royal Highness Prince Rui is very busy, it's really not easy to see you!" Su Jiu turned over the wooden fence and didn't go down, just sat there, shaking her legs and smiling at him.

Knowing that she teased him about revealing his identity and not coming to her anymore, Xiao Lie felt a little bitter in his heart.

If he really cared about their identities, he would not have made friends with her before, and only he knew why he avoided her.

Looking at the girl's delicate and bright little face, Xiao Lie's chest couldn't help softening, and asked, "How are you lately?"

Su Jiu nodded, "It's okay, how about you?"

Xiao Lie glanced at her, didn't answer, turned back and sat on the wooden fence opposite Su Jiu, with one leg bent, not rude, but a bit more elegant, "Recently, King Yu and King Zhao are both Win Joan over and tell him to proceed with caution, maybe this is just the father trying to test him!"

Sure enough, as Ji Yuxian expected, Su Jiu nodded seriously, "I will remind Qiao An!"

Xiao Lie nodded slightly, "Qiao An is safe and secure, and he is not arrogant because of his father's important use, so he must be aware of it."

He paused, then turned to look at Su Jiu, "But today, Jize wants to go to his father to report Qiao An as a bandit in the palace today, do you know?"

Su Jiu stood up awkwardly, "What did you say?"

Xiao Lie understood her expression, and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, I heard and stopped you. Don't worry, Jize is quite a loyal person, and he has no hatred with Qiao An. He probably won't go to Father Huang's place again." Bringing up this matter. I'm just wondering, how did he know about your Fulong Gang?"

Su Jiu understood in her heart that the second lady used a trick to meet Jize yesterday, and she must have asked him to go to the emperor to expose Qiao An.

So the person who knows that Qiao An is a bandit is the second wife!

The second lady knew that Qiao An was a bandit, what else did she know?
But now she thinks of another thing, Ji Yuxian sent Jin Feng to find out the news yesterday, after she asked Ji Yuxian, Ji Yuxian clearly told her that the second wife and Jize were just complaining about the past and nothing else, why did he lie to himself ?

Why did you ask Jize to report on Qiao An?
"It seems that you have been suspected in Ji's mansion, and you should be more careful!" Seeing that Su Jiu's expression was wrong, Xiao Lie couldn't help but be concerned.

"Yes, I know! Thank you this time!" Su Jiu looked up sincerely.

"I don't need you to look outside like this, nor do I need your gratitude!" Xiao Lie looked at her deeply.

Su Jiu was startled, and hurriedly said, "Yes!"

Xiao Lie smiled, and stood up, "I'm going back, you know Prince Rui's Mansion, if you have anything to do, go to the mansion to find me, or send someone a message, I will wait for you here!"

"Yeah!" Su Jiu had something on her mind and nodded absent-mindedly.

Xiao Lie's eyes dimmed, and he walked slowly downstairs.

Su Jiu stood there, watching the man's figure leave, feeling a little confused for a while.

The second lady will definitely not go to investigate Qiao An for no reason, she must have already checked her identity and involved Qiao An.

But if she already knew that she was a bandit and not the real Su Yuejiu, why didn't she stand up and expose it?

After what happened last time, the second wife decided that she already hated her pain, and there was no need to help her hide it.

How many things did the second lady find out?

Also, Ji Yuxian,

Su Jiu seemed to care more about Ji Yuxian cheating on her.

Su Jiu went to Qiao An and told him about it, and asked him to be more careful in the palace.

Qiao An remembered the strangeness when he saw Jize in the palace today, and only then did he understand why.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what His Highness Prince Rui ordered!"

"That's good!" Su Jiu felt relieved.

After leaving his home, he went to the commercial store to stay for half a day, and it was already dark when he came out.

Tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, the festive atmosphere on the street is strong, the sky is not yet dark, there are already one after another lanterns lit up, held in the hands of those children and girls, the little lights are connected into a line, winding on the long street with sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance Serpentine.

The carriage passed by on the street, and laughter and laughter came into the carriage. Su Jiu lifted the curtains and looked at it, and couldn't help but relax.

Back at Ji's Mansion, the nanny was waiting for her, fetched water to wash her hands, and said, "Miss, why did you come back so late, the young master is waiting for you to have dinner together, it's been almost an hour!"

Su Jiu washed her face and said softly, "I'll go right away!"

In the dining room, Ji Yuxian was still waiting for her, the food was already cold, the man sat on the wooden chair, seemed very tired, with his forehead resting on his arms, he had already fallen asleep.

But even so, he is still here waiting for her!
Su Jiu remembered that it was like this countless times, she came back late, and he kept waiting, sometimes when she came back from eating outside, he would let him accompany him to eat the cold food.

On the way, I was thinking about questioning him, but suddenly they broke up like this.

She believed that Ji Yuxian would not harm her!
How could she doubt him?

Su Jiu breathed out the dullness in her chest, and called Mo Yu to come in and remove the cold dishes, and bring back some Ji Yuxian's favorite food.

Hearing her voice, Ji Yuxian raised his head slowly, under the shadow of the lamp, he smiled softly, "When did you come back, I seem to have fallen asleep!"

"I said it many times, if I come back late, don't wait for me!" Su Jiu walked over and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Ji Yuxian took the teacup, but put it aside, took her wrist and hugged her tightly, and said with a low smile, "I'm used to it, if you're not here, I won't have an appetite alone."

The two snuggled together, no one spoke for a long time, each was silent, each thinking about their own thoughts.

The food was served quickly, Mo Yu and others looked at the intimacy of the two and lowered their heads shyly. Su Jiu got up from Ji Yuxian's arms, raised her lips and smiled, "Okay, let's eat!"

"Yeah!" The man looked at her and smiled, there was no trace of his exhausted look just now, and his grace and elegance returned.
